  1. Really regret saving a few bucks, and going with the Academy's kit over G.W.H.'s. 10 parts make up the body amd not a one fit well.
  2. There isn't anything to see yet, just the 2 hosts in promotional material holding some random macross figures. Need a 3D printer file for this very reason!
  3. It sounds weird but if you can put him into an asymmetrical pose (one arm and leg more forward than the other for example.) You can then mirror/flip the design horizontally, anything wacky should now jump out at you that it is reveresed. You nailed the nose cone's dip! A design element I wish that was carried through into more designs.
  4. RIP my wallet. I finally get a break with a few uninteresting Metal Build releases but, Metal Robot Spirits filled the void and then some. >_<
  5. Didn't care for it going in but past episode 4 it turned over for me when Marc and Steven finally cleared the air. Pretty happy with the ending minus a few of the eyrolling Marvel clichés. Felt like a bit of a missed opportunity to not have Moon Knight do some more unique teamwork with his himself chamging between the suits. The post credit 'third' was a great wrap up without completely closeing the door. I like that the story was told without another season already being announced and a unneeded cliffhanger.
  6. I gave in and ordered another platz kit. Guess I'll re-attempt the cockpit laser, and the ram-air intakes. I remember seeing this build of the Super Sylph using F-16D parts to replace it's resin bubbles. I don't recall seeing anyone attempt the Mave's brick. Might be something in the 3-d printing market by now? As for the Jam... Just stare at it until cross-eyed and then blink REALLY fast. lol
  7. Yup. An eternal build that may span generations at this point. I should probably need to have a kid to finish it. lol I don't know if it is just the Rei-look alike but it kind of looks like something Reflection would have sculpted back in the day.
  8. I almost choked thinking they were finally going to do some plastic 1/72 kits! Still a must buy even if the older full resin block for a cockpit still is a PITA to model. I still need to find a translated copy of book 3 too!
  9. GBWC will return in an online format for the first time since 2019! https://bandai-hobby.net/GBWC/japan/index.html
  10. Looks lovely, are the eyes decals? They looks kind of faded. Did you actually watch the series? All I remember hearing of it was that it was a bad redux of Chobits. Gotta love when you repick up old projects and just breeze through them a 2nd time! -- 20 Years later and I still struggle with making round things. So close but, the final product came out a tad undersized. 😕

  12. Where did you find what theater will be showing them?
  13. A few builds from the new Gundam Weapons MG Endless Waltz Glory of the Losers Special Edition mook. It's an ok book. Everything is clean other than the heavy arms builds which are weathered. Sadly, only less than 1/2 the new equipment from the GOL Manga was modeled in the builds which was a bummer. Some builds like Fluegal and Wing KA were recently shown in Gundam Hobby Life.
  14. "The reveal of the Gundam Devise Exia, a new variant of Gundam Exia, which debuts in METAL BUILD and Gundam 00 series CG animated collaboration project titled Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Revealed Chronicle. Director Mizushima mentioned that while the CG presentation will not be a full anime, it will still be helping to connect some missing links between the seasons 1 and 2 of the original anime series. It will also discuss and unveil the mysteries of the Double Drive system and will feature new mobile suit designs for the 4 main protagonists of the series. The new Exia variant features never-before-seen equipment including its significant GN Devise Backpack that can be extended with arm units to hold its smaller weapons. Gundam Devise Exia also flexes its main weapon, Proto GN Luster Sword that can be housed in the center of the its backpack when not in use. Gundam Devise Exia is set to release this October 2022 for 22,000 Yen." -GKC How does this Exia bridge the gap between S1/S2 of OO when it was thrashed and patched together? This would have to be some off-scene story that ran between the episodes of S1 I guess?
  15. Yep full color and painted. Mine has defects and even has scratches on the backsides where injection marks are. Should hide with topcoating though if you don't plan to paint.
  16. Tons of thrusters arived from the motherland (with some other Macross goodies) Out of the 60+ verniers I hope to find something that will work but, I'm not too optimistic. Last resort will be recasting the set from the 27 Lucifer. Now just to convince myself to get back to work!
  17. VF-31's are instock! Pre-colored too!
  18. Twitter feed has tons of other tweets with more WIP pictures.
  19. Website changed to reveal that Kira's VA announcing a Gundam SEED Metal Spirits figure AND the director for Gundam OO announcing a new Metal Build! I wonder what is next? AFAIK no more gundams from the OO RE:vision sequel were shown other than Dynames and Exia IV, so maybe back to the original S1 roster? https://tamashii.jp/special/gundam-figure-live/
